I just discovered the bzr-upload plugin and thought it was the answer to all of my web deployment problems until I discovered one huge, glaring flaw: If your document root is in a subfolder of your working tree (e.g., /www), bzr-upload is pretty much useless because it uploads the entire working tree.
Is there not a switch, or at least an ugly hack, to change this behavior? FWIW, I am limited to FTP access. This bug report mentions Bazaar "views" as a possible solution (or not) and was closed with a "Won't Fix". That was two years ago, though.
There is no switch to enable this behaviour. I'm not aware of any workarounds either, other than creating a separate branch that contains just those files you need and running bzr upload on that.
